Robert Mueller — former FBI Director, decorated Marine, and Special Counsel — has died. The man who led the most politically charged investigation in modern American history is gone, but his findings remain on the public record, largely unread by the public that fought over them.
The Mueller Report documented "substantial contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia" — resulting in 34 individuals and 3 companies being indicted. That's not speculation. Those are criminal charges, processed through the justice system, with real consequences for real people.
The actual findings were buried under a political noise machine. "No collusion" became the dominant narrative despite the report explicitly stating it did not exonerate the President on obstruction of justice. The gap between what the report said and what the public believes it said is one of the most successful disinformation campaigns in recent history.
Mueller played it by the book — refusing to make public statements, deferring to institutional processes, trusting that the system would work. The system instead turned his work into a political football and let the key findings disappear into partisan noise.
